I can't even vote but I am for Hillary and have just made a contribution to her campaign. I am one of those millions who have faith in her and don't want her to quit despite the obstacles. We want a fighter in our leader anyway and she has proved herself to be tougher than anyone in this race. She makes the best president among the three. See how she speaks in interviews (her Bill O'reilly's interview is the most impressive), she always touches on substance and very eloquently at that because she really knows her stuff. Obama, otoh, only talks in 2 words: hope, change...change, hope and he even had to borrow his words from others. It's getting old after 4 months.
Hillary is the most ready to be commander in chief. Go Hillary!! The more you stay and the more you are bashed by Obamatons, the more sympathy you'll get. I didn't plan to contribute but seeing how fanatic her opponents are, it drove me to do just so and I'm sure millions of her other supporters would too.
I never understand the irrational zeal of Hillary's haters. So she is ambitious, "conniving," pandering...you name it...but so is every politician on earth. You need to be all that to be a politician and be successful at that. Look at Obama, he barely entered the senate and he already run for president? What is that if not overly ambitious? Hillary at least waited one term!
It's because she is a woman! If she was a man, none of the traits above would matter. From their speeches, it's obvious Hillary is the better candidate who's on top of issues. She's got the clearest policy. She's done her homework while paving her path to the White House. Obama needs to do just that instead of trying to run full speed to the White House while he can't even walk yet, his feel-good speeches won't turn things around. People are caught up in the concept of a first black, young, youthful president with fresh idealism. Fine, but we need more...much more...than that!!
I am worried about Michelle Obama too. I have only lived in this country for 3 years, and even I was offended by her bitter remark in February that it was her first time that she was really proud of her country. What an irony!! This is the country and the people that allow her and her husband to be where they are now, and yet all she's got about this country and people all these years until that day was contempt??? I understand where she comes from being black in this country but she obviously has a chip on her shoulder and do you want this woman to be the future first lady? Do you think the Reps won't shred them into pieces over this come the Fall?
Read this African American's article on her, even he thinks she is "an angry black harridan."

And all his hoopla with Jeremiah Wright and association to Farrakhan, Rezko, et al...this will be played over and over come November. It won't matter to more liberal people like me, but centrist white Americans won't find this very appealing at all. He's got more baggage than Hillary. I hope people will just stop for a minute and think.
Latest pieces on her bitterness and unfitness for the future first lady:

His wife's bitter remarks will come back and bite him in the ass in the fall. Imagine the Reps issue a political ad of clips of her first-time-being-proud-in-her adult-life footage side by side with Rev. Wright's God-damn-America and undying respect for Farrakhan's footage, and the later's if-God-wants-it-Jews-will-remain-in-the-ovens warning.
Think hard people, I personally love Obama but the people round him are dubious and these are a huge baggage for someone running for President. I don't believe white Americans are willing to elect a half-black president whose wife and pastor has a very bleak view of America and its people.
Who are the real Obamas? Are they really who they want us to believe?

Who is Michelle Obama?

Michelle Obama holds a very bleak view of America and its values. Do you wonder how Jeremiah Wright came into pic? Sure not. Birds of the same feather flock together, that's why when asked her opinion of Wright she just responded: let's just move on. She can never say bad things herself -direct from her mouth- about their pastor of 20 years.

And yet we are supposed to buy that her husband is a messiah-like uniting force that transcends the divisiveness of "old politics" and extreme identity politics?
I don't think so.
Moderate, centrist white America won't elect a far-left black candidate whose black wife is an epitome of "an angry black woman" whose association with a separatist church and pastor spanned 20 years. It may sound racist but it's the reality of it (I'm Asian myself and I'm realistic.)
Can the Obamatons think about this for a second rather than caught up in the euphoria of the moment of "finding a messiah"? It's an illusion. The media is too restraint to expose the real Obamas, it'll be too late when we realize that. And do not think for a second the Reps won't exploit this.
